When I do a square card, I have been opting to do them in 4.25x4.25 and then using double sided tape on one side of an A2 envie to create a square pocket in the envelope... sometimes I punch a "window" using a small punch in that area, and even put in ds paper or vellum for a cool effect. Sounds like a bigger card would warrant the extra postage, though, and a bigger envelope to pad it... your cards just Rock, and I am moving more and more into the bigger is better realm, saving the 3x3 cards for enclosures, and the 4.25x4.25 for the simpler cards... Designing square is very cool... I am liking that they sort of work their way up into things for a 6x6 album page ;^)* 'Preciate all you are doing here... You inspire me to all ends!

My cards in this post would be normal postage. When you add weighted things like Hodgepodge hardhare and stuff it increases the thickness and weight of the card as well. I will usually place a thin bubble wrap layer over them if being mailed and yes that is a little extra. But it protects the design and for it to arrive intact is pricless!!! I also note fragile on the envelope. Not that they ever seem to care. Julie GREAT Question

I have a quick question, because I, too, love dimensional cards. My question is -- how well do they mail? I haven't dared put one in an envelope and mail one, yet, and I so want to. I am assuming extra postage, but what is your experience? or others' on this? Thanks! Lauren — awesome cards! I have a quick question, because I, too, love dimensional cards.
